ROMANEE CONTI 1971 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée Conti 1971 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand Cruu. 2x3cm, 2x3.5cm, 1x4cm, 1x5cm, banded prior to inspection, in original tissues and straw wrapped, bottle #s 02846-02857, excellent appearance, owc slightly damagedIn the past, I have sometimes been disappointed by this wine, finding it dry, but in 2010 there was a bottle direct from the Domaine that was hauntingly delicious. It had a liqueur-like nose and was mature and even nutty on the palate, with that inimitable long, lingering finish that is a strong signature. One dwelt on it for as long as possible!
